[00:02.99]W: Hello, Mark. Have you ever played cricket? [00:06.25]M: No, never, but I once watched a game at the Cricket Club. [00:10.17]W: Did you enjoy it? [00:11.69]M: No, not much, though everybody else seemed to. [00:15.30]I found it very slow. Nothing much seemed to happen. [00:19.59]Perhaps that was because I didn't really understand what was going on. [00:23.72]W: It's a bit like baseball, isn't it? [00:26.19]M: Well, not really. In baseball there is only one man with a bat [00:31.63]but in cricket there are two. [00:33.29]W: Both at the same time? [00:35.20]M: No. They take turns. [00:37.19]They each stand at one end of the pitch in front of some sticks called "stumps" or the "wicket". [00:43.91]A member of the other team, the "bowler" throws the ball at the stumps. [00:48.71]The batsman tries to protect the wicket and hit the ball as far as he can. [00:53.90]W: What happens when he hits the ball? [00:56.28]M: The batsmen run to change positions. That's called a "run". [01:00.99]They do it as many times as they can. [01:03.49]W: What does the other team do? [01:05.78]M: One of them runs after the ball and throws it at the wicket. [01:10.16]If he hits it while the batsmen are still running, one of them is out. [01:15.10]W: That sounds a little like baseball. [01:18.22]M: Not really. I think baseball is more exciting. [01:21.44]W: Yes, so do I. [01:23.69] [01:34.79]
